====Mods====
====Guide Changes====
===== B - {{#show:Category:ModGroup_01-Tools|?ModGroupDescription}} =====
=====STEP:Core=====  
:* [[Mod Organizer]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}}
:* Trees/LOD Install order - [[Skyrim Realistic Overhaul]] < [[Distant Terrain & Tree LOD]] < [[Skyrim Flora Overhaul]] - Basic + Recolored Trees & LODs < [[Trees HD]] {{Fc|#e6b69e|- REMOVE Vurts!}}
===== D - {{#show:Category:ModGroup_09-Fixes|?ModGroupDescription}} =====
<strike>:* [[Realistic Smoke & Embers]] < [[Ultimate HD Fire Effects]] < [[Static Mesh Improvement Mod]] (i.e., move to sec F)</strike> Done.
:* [[Nitpick]] {{fc|#7E6B40|''Removed from Core''}}
<strike>:* Add [[Detailed Chests]] back into core overwriting all conflicts (i.e., move to sec K)</strike> Done.
:* [[Elys AltF4]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}}
:* Propose removal of [[Better Dynamic Snow]], since it basically [http://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=211&pid=49074#pid49074 ruins almost all associated LODs] (makes them look like cartoons). The mod fixes the snow on a few structures when close up, but it destroys the LODs, effectively trading a fix for another error.
:* [[Fast Travel Timescale Fix]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}}
:* [[Skyrim Project Optimization]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}}
===== E - {{#show:Category:ModGroup_16-Interface|?ModGroupDescription}} =====

:* [[Unknown Enchants]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}}
:* [[Main Font Replacement]] {{fc|#6B7E40|''Added to Core''}} - Default font is simply wrong --pushed no doubt by some suit on the basis of enhancing readability. This is a correction of an oversight.
